THE CLINTON EMAIL SCANDAL – DEEP AND GETTING DEEPER

Ken Berwitz A federal judge, presiding over a hearing Thursday afternoon to determine whether the State Department was sufficiently forthcoming about Clinton’s e-mails and e-mail policies, has declared that Hillary Clinton “violated work policy” when she used a private server and email account as Secretary Of State.  And before you assume it must be one of those...

FIRE ISLAND

Ken Berwitz Fire Island is beautiful. Weather perfect, unlike the mainland which looks more cloudy then sunny from where we are.  It took us two hours flight to get from Central Jersey to the ferry at Sayville, Long Island – far less time than we could possibly have anticipated, especially given that we took the Staten Island Expressway to the Belt Parkway. With our son and his...

THE QUOTE OF THE DAY

Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from James Carville, who, along with Lanny Davis, has been politically exhumed to be trotted out in front of the cameras so they can pretend Hillary Clinton is as pure as the driven snow, and there\’s nothing at all to the email scandal.

THE QUOTES OF THE DAY

Usually there is just one Quote Of The Day.  But today there are three. First, the reason for these quotes. The Center for Medical Progress has just put out another video.  This one is of a former Planned Parenthood worker, Holly O\’Donnell, describing the killing of a live baby, with a still-beating heart, so its brain could be harvested – by the supervisor...

FINALLY, GAS PRICES STARTING TO COME DOWN?

As I type this, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) is down to $40.75 – that\’s a drop of $1.87 today, and about 33% less than it was 7 weeks ago. I just filled up at the local CostCo, and gas was $2.05 a gallon….down from $2.20 last week and the mid $2\’s when oil was over $60 a barrel. Maybe gas is FINALLY starting to come down to where I would have expected it to be. Oh, one...

TOMORROW, WITH OUR GAY SON AT THE PINES

I won\’t be doing much blogging tomorrow – maybe none at all.  That is because my wife and I are heading out early in the morning, from central New Jersey to Sayville, Long Island, where we will meet our son at the Fire Island ferry and head to an area of Fire Island known as The Pines. The Pines, as some of you may know, is primarily a gay area.  We\’ll spend the day...

HILLARY AND SUMMER OPTICS

How can you present yourself as a “champion of everyday people”, and then repair to an ultra ritzy retreat in the Hamptons;  2 weeks of fun and sun at an anything-but-everyday cost of $50,000 per week. Yep, everyday Americans certainly can relate to spending $100,000 for a couple of weeks\’ R&R… Ok, look:  in fairness, Hillary Clinton is a very public...

SENATOR ROBERT MENENDEZ\’S STATEMENT ON THE NUCLEAR “DEAL”

In the words of Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ): “I have looked into my own soul and my devotion to principle may once again lead me to an unpopular course, but if Iran is to acquire a nuclear bomb, it will not have my name on it…I will vote to disapprove the agreement and, if called upon, would vote to override a veto. “President Obama continues to erroneously say that this...

THE QUOTE OF THE DAY

Today\’s quote comes to us from presumptive Democrat presidential nominee (at least as of now) Hillary Clinton.  As the email scandal continues to swirl and grow, and as it becomes eminently clear to even her most ardent supporters that she lied about the kind of material that was on her personal server, Ms. Clinton, while speaking to a crowd of enthusiastic supporters, decided it...
